My way

As the sagely wise Coach preaches,

"When you play well, you will naturally win. When you don't, failure will ensue.
That is of course unless you played lousy and the other team is even lousier."

The protagonist always triumphs over their arch-enemies someday.

May the heavens send us Godspeed, strength, determination and courage above everything else. It is D-day minus one and may everyone have a good night's rest for the match so important to both teams I predict bloodshed. This is not merely a match it is a war for the Dunman High warriors (I snigger!) We will fight till the end until there is no man left standing.

God bless us.
